Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1: (MR. JONES)
Oh do you see what I see
Shorty looking pretty right in them tight jeans
She got some things on her that I need
She's about a dollar ten times a dime piece
But the one thing that's outta this world
Is the something on the back of this girl
I just wanna hold it and she knows it
That's why she rolls it

Chorus:
This girl got something I like
It'll look good on the back of my bike
Anything to get her to put it on me
Cause shorty got a, like a donkey
It looks good girl I can't deny that
Onion booty makes me wanna cry
Not trying to be fresh, rude, or raunchy
But girl you got a, like a donkey

Verse 2: (SING-SING)
It's looking beautiful so nice and round
Wanna thank ya momma for what she passed down
I never seen anything like it
Trying not to stare but I can't fight it
But I don't think you really understand
Just looking at it makes me cup my hands
I just wanna hold it and she knows it
That's why she rolls it

Chorus

Bridge:
I swear I hear it saying
Callin me, don't know what's wrong with me but
Every time I see it swaying
Back and forth I gotta look back for more
Just take a look in my eyes
Can't you see it got me hypnotized
Girl just take a look in my eyes
Cant you see it got me hypnotized





Chorus
